Just for those that didn't know, there are Black people in every country of the Americas; north, central, and south. And one very good famous Afro-Peruvian artists that you may want to listen to is Susana Baca.

[@slyslife]

That is very true. The diaspora is everywhere.

[@marvl6472]

Thank you for this comment...I love her music within 5 minutes of listening Sorongo..I live in a community with music, Spanish language..never cared for it but after listening to Susana and the band on Andre and Andreas Travel channel - Afro Colombian Concert in Cali Colombia 2022/ Petronia Alvariz , Im starting to love this kind of music..

@South American "In Latin America you cannot say or guess what someone's background is simply by looking at their skin color. Do you even know how many people in Latin America have parents of different colors? Millions of people. I have friends who do not look black who have a parent who looks black. I have friends who look black who have a parent who does not look black. I have friends who do not look white who have a parent who looks white. I have friends who look white who have a parent who does not look white. Our diversity is too complex for your comprehension." Oh no, they call themselves *Afro-Peruvian* hence why others use the term to refer to them. They are other videos on YT of *Afro-Peruvians* using the term to refer to themselves. Go lecture them...and stop carrying water for white supremacy you will end up a hunchback in early age 😂

[@eltanquedecasma1184]

San Martin de Porres is very popular in Latin America. He’s the patron saint of mixed race couples and of animals. He was known to feed animals and thus you usually see him portrayed with a dog, cat and mouse at his feet living in harmony.

[@queen_of_domination]

They have a rich and beautiful culture. When I was in Peru, it was for business. But, I’d like to go again to appreciate its beauty.

Boy, Sly, how did I miss all these videos by you since you left Colombia? This one is very educational! There is a Peruvian restaurant near me (I hope it's still there. Have not been to it since Covid). The food is delicious. It's really interesting for me to see any African influence in a country like Peru. I really need to travel in Latin America.

Have you experienced any racism in Peru? I have personally experienced a lot. Especially in Miraflores. I don't know how many times a woman has crossed the street after seeing me. I have never experienced that in other countries.

[@slyslife]

I thought it was just me. I haven't had so many people (men and women) cross the street on me either. I've also had some other situations occur. When it comes to prejudice, definitely the worst country for me so far in my travels.

[@Jenworo]

@@slyslife Really??? I’m from Perú and the racial prejudges almost dissapear, specially because in Perú is a mixture of spanish, native americana, asian, etc. There is more of socio-económic discrimination i guess.

I'm glad you showed this side of Peru bro. Peru is one of my oasis when I'm out of the matrix. Peru is holy ground from my perspective and the love of the people is off the chain. Very warming and welcoming; of course why shouldn't they be, because these are our people as well. Sad thing though; I'm seeing MZUNGUS politicians and common folks from the west more often, which to me means trouble. Hell; I cannot find peace away from what I'm leaving behind, at least for a week or so; without running into the same delusions I'm trying to escape from.

The African experience in the Americas is presented by the book.....Crossings Africa, the Americas and the Atlantic Slave Trade James Walvin. Afro presence in Peru is not always positive. South America expresses of discrimination is very plain. James Walvin is a respected and authority of the African slave trade.

Tacu tacu originated from the poor Peruvians. It’s essentially the left overs from the previous nights dinner. They throw a little extra on it (maybe fried eggs) and heat it back up!

It had to pass about 300 years The Vatican canonize San Martin in 50's in the last century. Even though that, both of them have been so respected and worshiped by population since centuries , even it says it exists the probility they could have met in some moment. Greetings!

It's not a matter of not paying attention in History class, but a matter of History books ommitting information about Afro Carribeean and Afro Latina culture, as they have ommitted so much of African history which highlights the great contributions of African people rather than always assigning us to some kind of inferior status when compared to European culture
